I have a Windows webserver IIS (not mine) that I was trying to use the
php function: imagecreatefromjpeg. As it turned out, GD is not installed.

What I would like to do is make this as easy as possible for the guys
that have to do the "fix". Windows IT guys don't like to do this. A
rather large website is running on this, so I don't want trouble.

I see some possibilities.

1) I can just have them install GD.
But, would PHP pick up that, or would they need to do just what? Update
or recompile?

2) Can you compile in GD during a php update?

Hints, suggestions or pointers, before I start would be appreciated.

The system looks like this:

Windows NT RACWEBSERV 5.2 build 3790
Build Date Sep 16 2009 19:39:11
Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js
"--enable-snapshot-build" "--enable-debug-pack"
"--with-snapshot-template=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\template"
"--with-php-build=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\php_build"
"--with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared"
"--with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared"

It's probably commented out in the php.ini

Look about 1/2 way down under Dynamic Extensions

Thanks, it was commented out and the DLL was already on the server as
php_gd2.dll. Fortunately php dlls are better named than what MS throws
in system32. :-)

Back to work...
